HŌʻĀ KA MANA: 2025
Join us LIVE on January 21, 23, 28, 30 from 6:00-7:30pmwith access to recorded sessions from the live classes anytime.
A four-part seminar series exploring the power of oli, mele, and moʻolelo as catalysts for activating this new year. This seminar series is not a historical lecture on oli or mele, nor a how-to guide. Instead, we will explore them as tools for reindigenizing the ways we empower ourselves and align with our intentions.
As we complete Ke Ala Polohiwa a Kanaloa (winter solstice) and welcome the sun back to our northern skies, we begin to prepare for the time of Kū.
This seminar series is not a historical lecture on oli or mele, nor a how-to guide. Instead, we will explore oli and mele as tools for reindigenizing the ways we empower ourselves and align with our intentions.
Designed especially with our diasporic Kanaka who may have limited exposure to mea Hawaiʻi in mind, this series provides inspiration from our moʻolelo to gather, learn, and craft your own ‘aha (ceremony) to bring your visions into reality for the year ahead.
Each session builds on the next, guiding you through reflection, preparation, and action to embody your purpose.

DAY 2: HOʻĀLA
Gathering Resources: Identifying what is needed and how to acquire it.
DAY 3: HOʻOMAKA

DAY 4: HŌ’Ā
Activation: Bringing your intentions to life through deliberate action.
